Haunted Sports Venues: Wrigley Field, Pfister Hotel and the Superdome
Episode notes
About this episode
| Stadiums, arenas and team hotels hold generations of triumph, disappointment and communal memory. This episode surveys supernatural stories connected with American, Canadian and English sports, ranging from college football and baseball to hockey, soccer and auto racing.
The route includes Camp Randall Stadium in Madison, St Mary’s Stadium in Southampton and the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto. It then visits Rochester’s ballpark, known as Frontier Field when the episode aired, the Pfister Hotel in Milwaukee, the Skirvin Hilton Oklahoma City and Hy-Vee Arena in Kansas City, formerly Kemper Arena. The final stops are Wrigley Field, Dodger Stadium, Nationwide Arena, Talladega Superspeedway and the Caesars Superdome. The episode separates venue history from athlete testimony, employee accounts and fan folklore while showing how sporting landmarks acquire stories beyond the official record. |
